: Bill,
: In all due respect, I disagree.....
: Since Dan presented a picture of what he wanted, I assumed he
: wanted the "look" and the strength of carbon fiber. I
: suggested what I thought was a good method to achieve it. The
: atributes of carbon fiber or carbon/kevlar cloth are well
: documented, especially for a kayak coaming. Also, from my
: experience using carbon fiber/glass layup instead of glass only
: offers a MUCH STRONGER layup that is also less thick, however it
: is more expensive. If using glass only for his repair, I would
: add a layer(s) to the underside of the coaming instead of the
: top, as you suggest.

: There are multiple methods to achieve simalar results, but weight,
: strength, and looks are all considerations of each project.

: Larry C.

Btw, I didn't say to just use glass, though it could certainly be done that way.
